Biocompatibility of Graphene Oxide [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2010 AbstractHerein, we report the effects of graphene oxides on human fibroblast cells and mice with the aim of investigating graphene oxides' biocompatibility. The graphene oxides were prepared by the modified Hummers method and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscopy.
